As Within, So Beyond
Where the Microcosmic Psyche Meets the Macrocosmic Soul
with Somatic and Transpersonal Psychology
The Way Out is In… the Body
Do you have the insight and understanding as to why you feel blocked, disconnected, or stressed?
…Yet you still feel stuck in the same patterns?
What if I told you that the psyche is very much like a garden?
When you pull the weeds from the top, they just keep growing.
To really remove the weeds that prevent the garden from flourishing, you need to pull them from the root.
…And humans - like you - aren’t very different.
While the rational mind’s understanding of a maladaptive pattern may remove what’s on the surface (like the weeds in a garden) it doesn’t get to the root of the matter.
And what does?
Your nervous system.
Because your nervous system is the storehouse of your patterns and imprints.
And the psyche doesn’t just involve the mind. It involves your gut, your organ system, and every living cell that makes you who you are.
The body’s intelligence serves as a bridge to your unconscious. That human software program that awakens in your dreams or in altered states of consciousness (ASC).
This unique blend of mind/body healing offers a space for you to express and listen - deeply.
Not just through the mind, but also through the body.
Your body isn’t just a doorway into healing your traumas, either.
It’s a pathway to come home to yourself.
Psyche as Soul
The ancient root of the word psyche is translated as soul in Greek.
While soul work has been forgotten in the West, it’s the guiding force that connects you to your intuition, your creativity, others, your environment, and the greater web of life.
Transpersonal psychology is a holistic approach to psychology that includes the mental and spiritual.
It’s the kind of healing modality that invites the soul into the conversation.
It acknowledges the power of many Earth-based indigenous traditions that acknowledge and honor the interconnection between you, your community, and the land.
Transpersonal healing seeks to bridge the mind, body, emotions, and soul within you, and humanity, nature, and the cosmos at large.
Embodying Earth’s Wisdom
Somatic Experiencing, Parts Work, and Creative Arts therapy also give voice to the body’s innate wisdom.
….. and invite emotions that want to move, express, and alchemize.
Layer by layer, new levels of awareness and awakening arise.
Bringing in more purpose, life force, and depth into your daily life.
Together, we peel back the many layers that live within the unconscious mind, body.
…and the quiet whispers of the soul.
We map your nervous system, explore your inner landscape, and nourish the parts of you that long to be seen, held, and integrated.
…So your true you can bloom, nourish others, and our planet.
And yes… that’s how much of a ripple effect soul work has. Because the collective healing of our planet begins within.
Inspired by many Earth-centered traditions that honor nature’s elements, this work isn’t talk therapy, pathologizing, or fixing. But rather, a co-creative journey to remembering your Self, and reclaiming your unique gifts to the world.
Retrieving the Self
Beneath the layers of stress, survival patterns, and old stories, your wholeness and truth await to be reclaimed and embodied.
Coined by pioneering psychologist Carl Jung, and used in other therapeutic modalities like Internal Family Systems and Psychosynthesis, the term “Self” refers to the divine core essence that lives within your soul.
The Self is the part of you who’s grounded in your intuition, deeper knowing, and sense of who you truly are - without the public masks and personas.
It’s the part of you who…wholeheartedly…knows you’re enough. Just as you are.
Without any doubt.
The Self is the truest part of you beneath the layers of societal conditioning, parental imprints, or authority figures.
This part of you is unwavering and resilient.
This part of you trusts and receives…and believes in the greater intelligence beyond.
Like a garden, the Self needs to be nurtured and tended to.
And the protective layers that get in the way of cultivating the Self, need not be fixed or erased, but rather acknowledged and integrated.

Testimonials
“Cata is on a path of healing art that was recognizable from our first moments together. She has done the work and study to know herself and support healing with gentleness and strength. Her curiosity and wisdom helped me feel seen and expansive. I felt embodied shifts in our sessions together that rippled out into my life. I highly recommend working with her to embolden your spirit and create space in your soma." - Moonyeen Weiss @embodied.ecology
“I’ve been carrying some old traumas that I needed and wanted to address. In and after my somatic sessions with Cata, I felt more in myself, and more engaged with my environment and others. She is compassionate and kind in her approach, while also direct - which helped us stay on track in my sessions with her. These sessions, all in all, have been deeply inspiring and healing for me.” Jaimie Lily
